You cannot file a bug report against flash player. Ok, maybe you could, 
but it wouldn't  a good option. Flash player is not a project of Ubuntu.
As I see it, and as you wrote that worked on Chrome (flash 11.8) then, 
there could be a problem with the current outdated flash version in 
Linux in combination with some missing packages in Lubuntu, a 
problematic kernel version, or in combination with old intel card and 
its drivers ? (probably the latest).
We cannot do anything for Flash Player, but we can do something with 
intel driver and this is the UXA acceleration as you mentioned. We could 
locate the problem with LightDM and fix that too.
Have you tried another Display Manager ?

Also try to add the option

Option "TearFree" "true"

in 20-intel.conf file.

And then add the

i915.semaphores=1

option as a boot option via grub (/etc/default/grub).
